about halfway through franny and zooey (i have a thrifted copy from 68) i start wondering if salinger was alive when my copy was printed, so i google him, LEARN THAT HE GROOMED AN 18YO GIRL THAT HE FOUND WHILE READING HER ARTICLE IN THE NYT WITH HER PHOTO ATTACHED AND ASKED HER TO DROP OUT OF YALE AND MOVE IN WITH HIM JUST TO KICK HER OUT AFTER 7 MONTHS; SHE WAS CALLED A STALKER, PREDATOR AND LEECH BY THE MEDIA. Not only that, he also "fell in love romantically" with a 14yo while vacationing at the beach when he was 30 and told her mom he wants to marry her daughter (ok humbert humbert) , wanted to marry a 16yo when he was 22 but couldnt since he was drafted in ww2 (that girl went on to marry charlie chaplin, a well known pedo), and after the war he ended up marrying a 19yo. i dont know how much separating from the artist i can do on all this art

Alice In Wonderland

4/5 stars ★★★★

I feel like when everyone was little they Alice In Wonderland, watched them movie, or just heard the story in general but growing up and reading it again this year was a whole different experience. Having a better understanding of Alice’s character and the jokes and the wording made the read so much fun. I also love that Alice is so real, there were so many moments in the book where I found myself relating to her a lot, equal amount as face palms, but just seeing a teenage girl being portrayed as just a free and curious kid was so fun. She’s so girlboss and I loved it.

genre: fiction, humor, fantasy

Reading, Reading, Reading.

I have been attempting the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge for about 4 years now, maybe 5...but I am excited to say that out of the 519 books on the list I have FINALLY gotten through 110 of them!

In 2024, the goal is to get through another 50 more books.

Wish me luck.

Just finished the first book for The Rory Gilmore Reading challenge. It was Number 32, Carrie by Stephen King.

Carrie is one of favorite movies (I'm talking about original one) so reading the book was always on my tbr list. Honestly surprised how much was removed for the films.

Overall, I loved it.

Reading update: Mystery phase, Pondathon, and the Rory Gilmore challenge

A reading update with a small side of life.

Hello readers! It’s been a while since I posted a book review. I’ve been so busy with school, work, and procrastination that I haven’t been reading nearly as much as I used to. Over the past two weeks, however, I’ve had more free time and have fallen into an Agatha Christie phase. Although I’m enjoying the change of pace and the excitement that comes from a good mystery novel, I don’t think those…

Any guide on Elle woods / hermione / rory coz I had no study motivation 😮‍💨

“she’s like a real life rory gilmore…”

fictional study icons guide, part 1: rory gilmore

ty for the ask! i’m gonna make this multiple parts, next will be elle woods, i never read/ watched harry potter tho so idk about hermione 🫣 but if y’all want me to do other characters, feel free to send ideas!

know your goals

rory had a clear idea of what she wanted for herself: to go to harvard & to become a journalist. when school & studying starts to feel tedious or difficult, having a strong “why” will keep you going. maybe you want to get into a certain school, you have a dream career path, or you want to become extra knowledgeable. never lose sight of your goal - surround yourself with reminders of it. rory had harvard memorabilia hanging in her room as a constant reminder of what she was working towards. you can create a vision board online, print pictures & hang them in your room, put notes up on your mirrors & walls. remember that classes, tests, & assignments are all leading you to a greater goal. studying is a means to an end and you deserve the best ending!

study a lot

rory prioritized her studies and spent a lot of her free time on schoolwork. the easiest way to succeed is to put in the time. don’t cut corners when it comes to your education - do your homework and assignments diligently, go through assigned readings & videos carefully, & if the teacher gives you optional/additional work, do it. remember tho, it’s important to study smarter, not harder. the most beneficial thing you can do is spend as much time as possible utilizing study methods that work for you. don’t waste time on study methods that aren’t effective for you. you can search my older posts for info about study styles or google learning styles & use that to help determine your best approach to schoolwork.

conquer challenges asap

when rory first started going to chilton, she unexpectedly got a bad grade on one of her first essays. she could have sat there and made excuses, felt sorry for herself and blamed the school/ teachers, but instead she worked extra hard to improve and overcome that poor grade. in the end she was valedictorian, showing that she was able to rise to the challenge and ultimately succeed. if you find yourself struggling with schoolwork, please take initiative asap and get whatever help you need. utilize all your resources - teachers, classmates, youtube video explanations, khan academy, tutors (if possible) - do not allow a dip in performance to be your norm. try to get to the bottom of why you’re struggling and then take care of whatever’s causing it. if you let yourself succumb to the struggle - telling yourself it’s because of bad teachers, the content is too hard, etc. - the only person who is gonna suffer in the long run is you. be proactive and take charge of your education.

take breaks

while rory did spend a lot of her time studying, it didn’t rule her whole life. she still made time for friends, family, and fun activities. life is about balance, and you don’t want to burn yourself out by spending every waking moment on school. take breaks for fun, to spend time with loved ones, to get fresh air & be active. give your mind breaks so that you can stay in top shape. that being said, make sure you strike a balance. don’t let your social life get in the way of your academics, but don’t let studying stop you from living life.

read a lot!

when i think of rory, i think of reading. she always has her nose in a book! she not only reads, but she reads books that are thought-provoking and intellectual - classics, non-fiction, and so on. reading is a wonderful hobby and it can also be a way to expand your mind. challenge yourself by reading books that are somewhat difficult to challenge yourself to read closely & dissect the content. find classics that genuinely interest you or non fiction on topics you enjoy. combine the fun of reading with the desire for intellectual growth. by reading more difficult books you can improve your vocabulary, build you reading comprehension skills, become better at analyzing literary devices, and overall become a more interesting person.

that’s all! have a great school year & best of luck with your studies! 🩷
